MIAMI, FL, June 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Homeland Security Network has just completed a face-lift that will make it easier and quicker to use the site. The new home page gives user's clear options on where to go to get free educational webinars, educational movies, DVDs, News, Resources and lots more.
"Everybody concerned with protecting the USA knows that the dots get connected when information from many different agencies is fused. The Homeland Security Network is like a private Facebook, with a big difference. It is only for hand-verified members of the US First Responder agencies or private security professionals. Applicants get a thorough background review and agencies are called to check that the applicant works there and has applied," states Henry Morgenstern, the CEO of the fastest growing private social network.
Much more than Facebook or other social sites, HSN is dedicated to providing timely news, and really interesting blogs all written by First Responders for First Responders. Since HSN is linked contractually with Security Solutions International (SSI) the network has one of the most efficient management teams, and the first class content that SSI has been providing to the First Responder community since 2004.
New members will be automatically entered into weekly raffles to win very valuable prizes including in past years a full trained Canine K-9. Prizes have also included Altama Boots, Energizer flashlights and much more.
To join the network go to http://HomelandSecurityNet.com/network-log-in/network.html. For further information go to www.HomelandSecurityNet.com.

Undersea volcano gave off signals before eruption in 2011
2012-06-11
NEWPORT, Ore. – A team of scientists that last year created waves by correctly forecasting the 2011 eruption of Axial Seamount years in advance now says that the undersea volcano located some 250 miles off the Oregon coast gave off clear signals hours before its impending eruption.
The researchers' documentation of inflation of the undersea volcano from gradual magma intrusion over a period of years led to the long-term eruption forecast. But new analyses using data from underwater hydrophones also show an abrupt spike in seismic energy about 2.6 hours before the eruption ...
Scripps Research scientists develop new tools to unveil mystery of the 'glycome'
2012-06-11
LA JOLLA, CA – June 10, 2012 – Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have developed chemical compounds that can make key modifications to common sugar molecules ("glycans"), which are found on the surface of all cells in our body. The new study presents powerful new tools for studying these molecules' function, for example in cell signaling and immunity, and for investigating new treatments for chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, cancer metastasis, and related conditions.
The new study, which appears online in Nature Chemical Biology on June 10, 2012, describes ...
Researchers found 4 gene loci predisposing people to the most common subtype of migraine
2012-06-11
Researchers studied genetic data of more than 11 000 people and found altogether six genes that predispose to migraine without aura. Four of these genes are new and two of them confirm previous findings.
The new genes identified in this study provide further evidence for the hypothesis that dysregulation of molecules important in transmitting signals between brain neurons contribute to migraine. Two of the genes support the hypothesis of a possible role of blood vessels and thus disturbances in blood flow.
The researchers carried out what is known as a genome-wide ...

'Bad' dieting increases cardiovascular disease risk
2012-06-11
A 25 year study in Northern Sweden, published in BioMed Central's open access journal Nutrition Journal, is the first to show that a regional and national dietary intervention to reduce fat intake, decreased cholesterol levels, but a switch to the popular low carbohydrate diet was paralleled by in an increase in cholesterol levels. Over the entire 25 year period the population BMI continued to increase, regardless of either diet, and both the increase in body mass and increased cholesterol levels are indicators of increased cardiovascular risk.
In the 1970's it was noticed ...
New insight into placental growth and healthy pregnancy
2012-06-11
Scientists at the Babraham Institute have gained a new understanding of how the growth of the placenta is regulated before birth, which has important implications for a healthy pregnancy. The research, published today (10 June) in the journal Nature Cell Biology shows that the controlled release of a specific molecule, called miR-675, slows down growth of the placenta before birth.
RNA molecules are best known as the intermediary between the cell's DNA and the making of proteins necessary for cell function. However, there are also many RNA molecules with functions other ...

Researchers develop a 'time bomb' to fight cardiovascular disease
2012-06-11
In Switzerland, more than 20,000 people (37% of all deaths) die of cardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis each year. Treatment options are currently available to people who suffer from the disease but no drug can target solely the diseased areas, often leading to generalized side effects. Intravenous injection of a vasodilator (a substance that dilates blood vessels), such as nitroglycerin, dilates both the diseased vessels and the rest of our arteries. Blood pressure can thus drop, which would limit the desired increased blood flow generated by vasodilatation ...
Michael Walters Advertising Selected by National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC) to Create New Brand Identity
2012-06-11
Michael Walters Advertising (MWA), based in Chicago, has been selected by the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC) to launch a new brand identity to promote the benefits of mutual insurance for its member companies.
"The story we need to get out is that mutual property/casualty insurers exist to serve their policyholders, rather than shareholders who are only interested in making short-term profits," said Brent Bahler, vice president of public affairs for NAMIC. "Now, when more consumers are looking for genuine value-driven and customer-focused ...
Scientists reveal structure of bacterial chainmail
2012-06-11
An international team of scientists, funded in the UK by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), has uncovered the structure of the protective protein coat which surrounds many bacteria like a miniature suit of armour. Their research, which is published today (Sunday 10 June) in Nature, has far ranging consequences in helping us understand how some pathogenic bacteria infect humans and animals, and could help us develop new vaccines.
Until now, scientists have known very little about the structure and function of this coat, which scientists ...
